Florida's 9th District State Representative Allison Tant was inspired to run for office by her son, who has developmental disabilities. She wants to help educate other legislators and the local community about how families like hers navigate everyday life.

Tant would say her biggest accomplishment in office is passing a bill that codifies best practices for addressing people with disabilities in the K-12 school system.

If she could have lunch with anyone, she would choose Eleanor Roosevelt. Tant's ideal day would include attending an action-packed celebration in the local community.
